You're not Alone
(Clark is walking down the school hallway talking to Chloe and Pete.)
Chloe: How did you guys like that book report Mrs. Snapp made us write for homework?
Pete: How did I like it? It took me three hours just to read the book.
Chloe: What about you Clark? (She turns and faces him)
Clark: I thought it was...interesting.
Pete: Interesting? Interesting is reading the modified version of To Kill a Mocking Bird, that book was just plain touchier.
(Clark smiles and looks up just as he bumps into a girl, making her drop all her books.)
Girl: Oh, I'm sorry.
(Clark helps her pick up her books)
Girl: I... (Her eyes meet Clarks)...wasn't looking. Clark?
Clark: Vanessa? Oh my god, it's been so long.
Vanessa: I know. Moving to Metropolis divinely has its down fall.
Chloe: You two know each other?
(The girl looks up and for the first time notices Chloe and Pete. She stands up.)
Vanessa: Oh hi, I'm Vanessa.
Chloe: Chloe and this is Pete (Points to Pete)
Pete: Um...Chloe could I talk to you, you know...um...in the class room.
Chloe: (Catching on) Uh...yea sure. Catch you later Clark.
(Chloe and Pete leave to go to class. Clark looks back at Vanessa.)
Vanessa: (Smiles) You have some great friends here.
Clark: Yea there great.
(Vanessa looks at her watch.)
Vanessa: Oh shoot. I got to go. (She rushes down the hall. When she reaches the end of the hall she turns around) It was nice seeing you again!
~ A few minutes later ~
(The school bell rings as the last of the students race to there class rooms. Clark races to his Science class just in time enter the class room before the teacher closes the door.)
Mrs. Snapp: Mr. Kent, glad you could make it. Next time make sure it's on time.
(Clark takes a seat)
Mrs. Snapp: Well class we have a new student today. (Vanessa moves forward) Class this is Vanessa Killingsworth. (To Vanessa) Miss. Killingsworth why don't you tack a seat next to Mr. Kent.
(Vanessa takes a seat and the teacher begins the class. Half way threw the class the teacher gets a knock at her door. She goes out side for a minute and comes back with a box. Vanessa puts her hand on her forehead and Clark looks over. He is about to say something when the teacher calls his name.)
Mrs. Snapp: Mr. Kent, as much as you want it to, daydream is not part of the class. (She opens the box and takes out a piece of rock.) Now I want everyone to tell me everything you can about this rock, I want a three page essay by the end of the period. (Clark looks back at Vanessa, who seems to be doing fine.) Mr. Kent.
Clark: Sorry. (He turns his attention to the paper on his desk and starts on his essay.)
~ The Kent Farm ~
(Clark is in the barn looking at the stars with his telescope. He doesn't even hear Vanessa come up the stairs.)
Vanessa: You were always obsessed with that telescope.
(Clark turns, surprised to see her)
Vanessa: Your mom told me you were here. I kind of felt bad leaving you like that, but I can see that you're busy so I'll just...
Clark: No, come on it.
Vanessa: I don't mean to intrude.
Clark: No it's fine, really.
(Vanessa walks over to Clark and looks out the window)
Vanessa: At least we still have something in common.
Clark: I heard that you can't see the starts as good in Metropolis.
Vanessa: (She laughs) No you can't. (She looks up at the sky and tacks a deep sigh) Do you think that there are other living beings out there?
Clark: (Looking nervous) N-No, what makes you ask that?
Vanessa: I just find it hard to believe that we are the only ones out there.
(She turns to Clark and gives him a hug.)
Vanessa: I missed you.
Clark: (Hugging her back) Me too.
(When they pull apart Vanessa feels light headed.)
Clark: You ok?
Vanessa: I'm just a little...
(Before she can finish her answer, Vanessa collapses.)
(Clark is walking down the school hallway talking to Chloe and Pete.)
